Lower East Side Tenement Museum, New York City
A visit to the Lower East Side Tenement Museum is a tour through the life of Manhattan's early 20th century immigrants. On the Confino Living History Tour, the only tour appropriate for children under 8, a historical re-enactor playing a teenaged member of the Confino family tells wide-eyed children of the perilous ship journey and the hard work she faces in America. When kids see that a family of ten once slept in a two-room apartment they may stop complaining about having to share a room with their siblings!
